The Women's Balcony (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Harsh Words - full transcript
Oh my, so much has happened.
Eti and Margalit decided
to open a restaurant.
Your restaurant will be beautiful.
I'll put my heart into it, I promise.
He promised.
But then he vanished with the money.
Could our neighbor be involved?
-Hanuka?
There's someone behind him, I guarantee!
And Yaffa,
as distant as she's becoming from Naftali...
You've been a rabbi for just a few weeks,
look how distant we've become.
And it will only get worse.
The closer she's getting to Felisian.
I need you, Yaffa.
You're the only one who understands me.
And Ora's campaign is being conducted
from my home in peace and quiet.
Yeah, right...
"Imagine Jerusalem with no ultra-Orthodox."
No, delete it.
It's a mistake.
You wrote this?
Throw all these flyers away.
And he didn't.
On the contrary,
he scattered them every which way
in the heart
of the most ultra-Orthodox neighborhood.
I made the chamomile tea you asked for.
That's it, I'm going.
Better than you have gone before.
Don't be like that.
Are you bragging that you can go?
God forbid.
You know...
congratulations are in order.
-What for?
Figure it out.
It's not your birthday,
you were born on Tisha B'av.
No, in Elul.
Av, Elul, same difference.
So congratulations for what?
Don't you remember?
20 years to the day
I was appointed beadle.
Of course.
Now you ruined my surprise.
Here.
Are they coming today as well?
-Of course.
They can go to Ora's house.
-No.
Doesn't the noise bother you?
It bothers me.
Then you go to Ora's house.
Alright, have a good, peaceful day,
just rest and quiet.
-Amen. -Amen.
Go celebrate.
Tikva, you don't really have a surprise for me.
The trouble started
on my most crappy morning
since I started treatment.
Yarin, however,
what a spring in his step!
Send a crew out here, it's crazy.
Hundreds of people,
and they're just warming up.
Well, your competitors are on their way.
Ora Nemo,
and what's interesting
is that she's very religious herself.
Don't cross the line.
No.
This is wrong.
She's fascinating, brave,
just hurry up
because she's going out to them.
What's going on?
-Are you alright? -Yes, what happened?
Don't ask,
there was a big screwup,
one of the kids handed out
the flyers I wrote. -Those ones?
Oh no.
-Human error, I guess.
I assume full responsibility.
What do we do?
If you ask me,
let's go with the flow
and not say it was a mistake,
otherwise they'll think we're zigzagging,
which is worse.
Flow with that sewage?
Absolutely not.
But it's out,
we can't turn back the wheel.
But you explained it to me,
let's explain it to them.
No, no, no,
it doesn't work that way.
Well, I'll consult with Tikva
and be right back.
Good morning, Rabbi.
-Good morning.
Rahamim, can I talk to you?
-Of course.
Did you see this?
-No, what is it?
I found it on the sidewalk,
they're all over the neighborhood.
Show me.
-Oh no.
It's a declaration of war.
It's messing with their most inner affairs.
They won't remain silent.
She didn't tell you?
Nissan, please.
She's lost her mind.
Say you're looking into it,
you don't know how it happened.
Someone did this behind your back,
you don't know who. Okay?
What do you care?
That way they'll think you have enemies.
Get a pen and paper
and write down what I say.
She's going to apologize.
-I know.
Don't worry, it'll be too late.
I'll be the opening act
and they won't let her go on.
We're off,
I have two more items today.
No, she's going out,
you have to film this.
Between us, Yarin,
nothing much is going on.
It's not worth an item.
Then wait until she goes out there.
You'll get your item.
You don't know where this can go.
But only if she goes out now.
Ora.
Ora.
You have to go out now.
I have to know
what I say to them first.
Don't say anything,
just stand there and be quiet.
I can't,
I have to say something, apologize.
Otherwise why do this item?
-Ora,
they're leaving,
there won't be an item
if you don't go out now.
We'll send an apology in writing later on.
Please do as I say,
I know what I'm doing.
Alright, I'm coming.
Rahamim. This is my husband.
This is Yarin.
He's finally visiting me.
Don't ask.
-We'll be right back
and tell you everything.
-I have to go out there--
No, you can't.
I have to talk to you first.
Wait, you have to...
-Just a second. -Ora.
What is it?
-Ora!
You have to...
Ora.
Ora!
Don't cross the line.
I'm going to apologize, Rahamim,
it's human error.
I don't understand
how it could happen.
Don't then.
Yarin, I'm ready.
-What?
Let's go.
-Go.
Alone?
-Yes, do what you want.
You're not coming?
-Too late, she left.
You go. Grovel, apologize.
I'm not going.
Fine, don't.
You want to come with me?
If you need me to, but...
I can't be politically involved, I...
You work for the city, right.
Forget it. -Come,
I'll go with you.
-Thanks, sweetie.
God willing we'll succeed.
Say amen. -Amen.
Hello.
Who did you call misogynist?
You heretic.
Excuse me.
Hello.
People, excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me. Hello.
I'm Ora Nemo,
I want to explain what happened.
First of all--
Shame on you! -Heretic!
-It was a mistake.
I'll explain.
I don't stand behind
what it said...
Tell them you're very sorry.
I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry.
Are you out of your mind?
Why are you involved in this?
It's just the beginning.
This mistake of yours will cost you.
What do you want me to do?
I told you, Ora,
you don't know about these things.
Say you're backing down
and get this mess over with.
Your life is in danger,
do you get that?
And you know
you won't be elected as it is.
No, I don't know.
But I finally know
what you really think of me.
Go to your city hall,
they'll fall apart without you.
Rahamim,
who bought all the properties?
Justice Holdings Ltd.,
not too many details,
but lately they purchased
more properties in the marketplace.
Justice Holdings?
No name of a person? -No.
Eti, I have the sum of the deficit.
Just tell me how much
is left to pay the contractor.
What?
You gave him the entire sum?
It was a mistake. -But...
We have to find
that Meir guy and sue him.
How will that help?
It'll be years till she gets her money.
This restaurant was supposed
to turn a profit in two weeks,
how will that happen now?
Eti,
you won't like this,
but give it some thought.
I'm not selling! Ever!
What choice do you have?
I'll think of something.
Think fast,
this deficit is increasing by the day.
Margalit,
you want to cook tomorrow?
I always want to cook.
But I mean a meal,
big quantities, not samples.
Can you?
Nissan will help me.
-He will?
I'll show him,
I'll show everyone.
If I lose here,
I'll run for the Knesset.
I have to show him.
Ora, you're overreacting,
he got stressed
by that crazy man. -It's not that.
He's worried about you. -No.
He tried to dissuade me
from the very start.
He doesn't want me to be someone.
Tikva, this is the biggest thing
I've ever done
and where is he? Huh?
He works for the city
and he can't help me?
He can't come here
and encourage me?
Be happy for me?
Ask me if I need anything?
Nothing.
He wants me to be the little wife,
that's what he wants.
No way,
Rahamim's not like that.
I didn't think so either.
He talks a good talk
but doesn't walk the walk.
-Am I interrupting?
No, I'll be right there.
Is it time to go on the campaign trail?
I think we'll cancel it for today.
-Really?
Thanks, I don't feel like it today.
-Ora, I have to tell you something,
but don't freak out,
we're handling it. -What now?
We translated what that guy said,
he's threatening to kill you.
-Oh yeah?
Yes, it's no laughing matter.
I think we have to go
to the police and the media.
Aren't you overreacting?
He's a bit off.
He didn't mean...
-I think he did
and I'm no psychiatrist,
I can't assume responsibility for this.
We have to file a complaint.
No, I'll tell my rabbi
to talk to his rabbis,
they'll handle it.
-Ora. -What?
Look at me
and tell me the truth,
do you want to win this election?
-Of course.
Then you have to trust me.
I know what I'm doing.
If we file a complaint
it will have an insane effect,
you'll soar sky high.
And you're not doing anything wrong,
he's the one
that threatened to kill you.
And you know why he did that?
Because you're a woman.
If you were a man he wouldn't dare.
And that's what you're fighting against,
isn't it?
File a complaint.
Hello, in Jerusalem
dozens of ultra-Orthodox men
attacked Ora Nemo
from the Or party
in protest of her campaign.
During the protest
she was subject to murder threats.
This is huge.
Neta, this is huge.
You see this?
-Yes, it's fierce.
What you said,
what you did, was so great. -Thanks.
This is the most important day
of your campaign.
It's only up from here.
-God willing.
I could have said
I was too weak to interfere,
but that wouldn't be the truth.
Tomorrow's a tough day,
you have four interviews.
I hoped Ora would realize
that she has no choice
and would finally take the reins.
Sleep well.
Thank you.
-Bye.
What a day.
Okay, now your shower and that's it.
No, I didn't get dirty today.
-No,
let's do this.
No need.
Go home, get some sleep.
Tikva, tomorrow I'm appearing
on a morning show,
I have to be here early, so...
can I sleep here tonight?
You're that mad at him?
I can't look at him.
Ora Nemo is an independent contender
for the Jerusalem city council.
Mrs. Nemo,
you're new to politics,
I assume that when you decided to run
you never thought you'd be
in such a violent situation.
Describe what went through your mind
at those moments.
I don't wish it on anyone. It's...
It's scary.
-It's scary, it's...
You filed a police complaint
for assault and death threats
and you're demanding
the immediate arrest of the perpetrator.
I hear that several female Knesset members
joined your request.
Can you tell us about that?
Sadly, not now,
the investigation is ongoing.
Sadly, not now,
the investigation is ongoing.
I'll gladly talk to you again
after the findings of the police.
I'll gladly talk to you again
after the findings of the police.
Ora Nemo, good luck.
Thank you for talking to us.
-Thank you.
Excellent, you were great.
-I was?
Really? -Yes.
-Tikva, what do you think?
She fell asleep.
I got you two more interviews,
but you were great. Good job.
Thank you. -Great.
-Tell me,
will he really be arrested?
I don't know.
Moti, show me the frame.
My soul thirsteth for God...
Can't you stop him?
I can't talk to him like this.
Sshhh...
He just wants to talk to you.
He won't do you any harm.
I'm sorry, Officer,
he's not a normal child.
I can see that.
But I must question him
in order to move on.
A death threat is a serious charge.
He's just talking nonsense.
He couldn't kill a fly,
I can vouch for him.
I believe you,
but he'll have to remain
in custody overnight.
The psychiatrist will examine him
and we'll act on what he decides.
No, please,
I can't leave him here,
he'll break down.
We'll keep him safe,
I promise you.
I'll watch out for him myself.
I'll tell Eti and Margalit
that you couldn't be there.
But I can.
-You can't.
The place will be full of dust and germs!
I'll put a mask on and I'll come.
-No.
Yes.
-Fine, come,
and I'm calling Dr. Azam to tell him.
You're not.
-I am.
Go see who that is.
Oh man, look at me.
Oh, it's you.
How are you, Ora?
How can I be?
What are you doing here?
I came to take you
to Eti and Margalit's meal.
You shouldn't have bothered,
I can walk.
I thought we'd talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
So we'll leave it like this?
-Yes, until after the elections,
then we'll see.
Fine, if that's what you want.
I can still take you,
we don't have to talk.
Wait, I'll get my bag.
No need, I'll manage.
Tikva, bye.
-Bye bye.
No, don't.
Ora, let me!
-I'm fine. -What is that?
Stickers, to give them.
Mrs. Ora Nemo?
-Yes?
Mrs. Ora.
-What is it?
My son is the one who threatened you.
I apologize.
My Baruchi doesn't always know
what he's doing,
but I explained to him,
he won't do it again.
Mrs. Ora,
he has a big body but...
he's still a child.
And prison
is not for him.
No, of course not.
I'll take care of this. -Yes?
-I promise.
We'll go there now.
-Thank you.
Tikva.
It's so good to see you.
Do we have an appointment?
-No,
I came of my own free will.
That's a huge compliment.
You look great, Tikva.
How can I help you?
I came to ask for a week off
from the takeoffs.
Tikva, remember,
we talked a lot
about the importance of continual treatment,
especially now,
when the counts aren't favorable,
it's even more important
for the success of the treatment.
Doctor, between us,
it won't really matter.
The cancer doesn't care
one week more, one week less.
And we won't tell it
we missed a treatment.
We won't tell Aaron either.
In your condition,
each treatment is crucial.
It increases the chances of recovery.
By how much
does it increase the chances?
0.2 percent.
Wow.
That's a lot, Tikva,
it's not like it sounds.
-Mmm...
Yes.
There's an invoice here
from Justice Holdings Ltd.
What is it?
-What?
Oh, it's nothing, by mistake.
Oh!
680 shekels at Lola Bakery.
No... -You indulged, huh?
-No, that wasn't for me, it was...
a gift. -Right...
I swear,
I haven't had sweets in years.
Yes you have.
I haven't. Look.
Doesn't look like it, but...
What now? Excuse me a second.
Surprise.
-What are you doing here?
I came to get you.
Are you done working?
Um... I...
Good evening, Naftali.
-Good evening.
Naftali, do you know Kobi?
He's a client.
I'm preparing his tax statement.
If you have to work, I'll go,
come when you're done.
-It's okay, I have to go.
We're done here, aren't we?
So have a good evening.
I'll get my things.
He's late with that statement.
All the tax laws,
they're very complicated,
it's not like the United States.
He's not familiar with them
so we have to go over every invoice.
Shall we?
And just like that,
without me, with no shame,
the whole community gathered
for the first meal...
Just a drop.
At Eti and Margalit's construction site.
Michael, when's your wife coming?
-Soon.
Then eat before it gets cold.
-I'm eating.
Well?
It's okay. What...?
You fry it, add onion. If you...
Good evening. -Good evening.
-You're open today?
Not exactly. I...
-No, yes, yes,
of course we're open.
-Rahamim's meeting me here.
Rahamim? -Rahamim?
-He's not here.
Do you know him?
-Of course.
Who doesn't know Rahamim?
But he'll be here any second.
Sit down. -Yes? -Please.
Margalit, let's serve them.
Don't come with me, Rahamim,
I'll manage on my own.
Tell Eti and Margalit
I'm sorry I can't be there.
No, I'm coming with you.
-I don't want you to,
I'll manage.
This is where we stand
and we're almost there.
That's why we can't give up now
and we won't give in to bullies.
This place must be
a home to us all.
Right. -Right?
So we can meet here every day,
eat together, laugh together,
not only on the Sabbath at synagogue.
To make this happen,
we need your help.
And I promise you all
a special dish from my menu.
Imagine waking up in the morning
knowing that at noon
you'll eat Margalit's food.
You jump out of bed.
Okay, what are you waiting for?
Checks please
and no excuses,
I know what each of you has in the bank.
Let me be first.
Good luck. -Thank you.
-Thank you, Rami.
I don't know where Rahamim is,
this isn't like him.
It's alright,
we managed without him.
Thank you.
Wait...
2,000 shekels.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, sweetheart.
Did you include the rental of the chairs?
I don't see it.
-Of course.
Here. -Good.
I knew they'd open their hearts.
I wonder, Ora and Rahamim didn't come.
It's odd.
I spoke to Rahamim earlier,
he said he looked into
Justice Holdings Ltd.
Who?
-Justice Holdings,
the company that bought the properties.
Why?
Uh... no reason.
Aaron, where are we at?
Patience.
Tell us approximately.
This is right?
-Yes.
Maybe we should check
one last time?
Aaron, again?!
Alright, just a second.
This is the full amount.
If we take 10% off
for unforeseen expenses
and another 3%
for unforeseen unforeseens,
that always happens,
we remain with
a surplus of 17 shekels.
Wow!
-That will be enough for the renovations.
This is wonderful.
-Congratulations.
I told you so.
Baruchi.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mrs. Ora.
You're welcome. Thank you.
Good luck with the elections.
God will help you,
you deserve it.
Why didn't you go to the meal?
-I waited for you.
Why?
To say "I told you so?"
Do you have any more proof
I can't be a politician?
That I don't know what I'm doing?
-No. -Fine,
you got what you want.
I'm withdrawing, you win.
-No,
you can't.
You have to go on, Ora.
When even my husband
doesn't believe in me?
But I do believe in you.
I didn't mean what I said.
I was thinking of myself, not you.
I'm sorry, I've been an ass.
You can't withdraw.
-Too late, Rahamim.
Once words come out of your mouth
there's no way of taking them back.
But you work for the city.
So they'll fire me...
Munir, how long will it take?
I don't know.
I'll get the workers,
then I'll tell you.
We can trust you, right?
You can't trust anyone.
You have to be here all the time.
That way the workers
will work faster too. I'll be back in an hour.
Thank you, Munir.
Look at that Hanuka sniffing around.
I have to know who's behind him.
We have to keep him away
until we decide to open.
When we feel
that we can't trust anyone,
that's when we're strongest
and we know exactly
what we have to do.
Good morning, Hanuka.
-What are you doing?
Leave him to me.
-What happened?
No workers today?
-Don't ask, the contractor bailed.
Really?
-Yes, take a look.
He dropped everything
and we paid him up front.
Ay ay ay, I'm such a jackass.
Eti, it's all my fault.
-You?
When I saw that guy
I had a bad feeling about him,
I should've warned you,
but I didn't want to butt in
so you don't think I have it in for you
because of the sale.
That's okay, Hanuka.
Actually Margalit and I
wanted to talk to you,
maybe we can meet with the buyer
and move forward?
Yeah?
-What choice do we have?
Maybe you can set up a meeting with...
Justice Holdings, right?
-Yes, Jus...
I mean, I don't remember,
was it Justice Holdings?
Where did you hear that?
-You told me. -Me?
Oh, right, I did, I told you.
So will you set up a meeting?
-Yes, sure.
Thank you.
-So long.
Thank you, Hanuka.
-Bye.
You see that?
"I told you?"
Ora also got up in the morning
feeling there's no one she can trust,
and then it happened,
she followed her heart.
Good morning, dear voters.
I want to share something with you.
I made a big mistake,
I sent an innocent fellow to jail
and I almost ruined his life.
Just to get elected.
I forgot that I want to be on the council
to unite, not to divide.
I won't hurt anyone
just to get elected.
I don't know
if I deserve your vote...
She's actually telling people
not to vote for her.
I got confused.
I made a mistake.
I see. Remove it from social media.
I want this gone.
And Yaffa?
She decided to trust herself.
Suddenly, in the middle of the road.
What do you think you're doing?
Good morning to you too.
Good morning.
-Ora.
How are you?
-Very well.
Can I talk to you?
-Of course.
Look, Ora,
I'm your campaign manager, okay?
Getting that guy released
without consulting me
is like spitting in my face,
not to mention the huge damage
to the campaign
that I don't know if I can repair.
No, don't repair it.
Yarin,
I've been thinking about this,
I appreciate everything you've done,
you're really great.
-Huh? -But I realized
that you're not for me.
Our ways don't meet.
I'm not in your league. It's just...
I don't want it that badly.
I realized that from here on in
I do this on my own.
Wait, are you firing me?
No, God forbid,
I'm just saying
that I decided to go it alone.
So you're firing me.
-Why put it like that?
I'm just shortening your work.
Two weeks, big deal.
Thank you.
I thank you all.
Take this,
you take this.
Get up!
I'm listening.
What do you want to hear?
-The truth.
What are you doing, Kobi?
Why did you come back?
I realized we never...
talked when it ended between us.
Because you fled.
You didn't have the guts.
It was too painful.
But in my mind you were always mine,
we were together,
I just left for a while
and I'd be back.
Kobi, I'm married,
there's no point now.
I just want to know
why your interest in the shops.
Why are you being so evil?
-Evil?
I'm saving them.
Don't you get
that this neighborhood is dead?
It's gone.
Look around,
the world has moved on.
I'm doing them a favor,
removing them from their small,
primitive world
without having to go anywhere.
You know what I'm going to build there?
It'll be the most beautiful neighborhood
in Jerusalem, in this country.
And they'll get it just like that
because they're lucky enough
to live in my neighborhood.
You want them to live
in a neighborhood that's yours,
that's what you really want.
No.
I want you.
That's what I really want.
I'd give up this project now
if I had you.
Kobi, I'm married.
I heard.
Say it another seven times
it won't close the abyss
between you and your husband.
And it won't make
how you feel for me go away.
I'm not alone here, Yaffa.
If you wanted to,
you'd tell me to go away.
So stop using your marriage as an excuse,
it won't last, you know that.
Naftali is a sweet man,
sensitive, considerate,
everyone loves him.
But he's not for you.
He's not in your league, Yaffa.
He's like them,
a coward.
That's not true,
you don't know him.
I know you.
Eti and Margalit decided
to open a restaurant.
Your restaurant will be beautiful.
I'll put my heart into it, I promise.
He promised.
But then he vanished with the money.
Could our neighbor be involved?
-Hanuka?
There's someone behind him, I guarantee!
And Yaffa,
as distant as she's becoming from Naftali...
You've been a rabbi for just a few weeks,
look how distant we've become.
And it will only get worse.
The closer she's getting to Felisian.
I need you, Yaffa.
You're the only one who understands me.
And Ora's campaign is being conducted
from my home in peace and quiet.
Yeah, right...
"Imagine Jerusalem with no ultra-Orthodox."
No, delete it.
It's a mistake.
You wrote this?
Throw all these flyers away.
And he didn't.
On the contrary,
he scattered them every which way
in the heart
of the most ultra-Orthodox neighborhood.
I made the chamomile tea you asked for.
That's it, I'm going.
Better than you have gone before.
Don't be like that.
Are you bragging that you can go?
God forbid.
You know...
congratulations are in order.
-What for?
Figure it out.
It's not your birthday,
you were born on Tisha B'av.
No, in Elul.
Av, Elul, same difference.
So congratulations for what?
Don't you remember?
20 years to the day
I was appointed beadle.
Of course.
Now you ruined my surprise.
Here.
Are they coming today as well?
-Of course.
They can go to Ora's house.
-No.
Doesn't the noise bother you?
It bothers me.
Then you go to Ora's house.
Alright, have a good, peaceful day,
just rest and quiet.
-Amen. -Amen.
Go celebrate.
Tikva, you don't really have a surprise for me.
The trouble started
on my most crappy morning
since I started treatment.
Yarin, however,
what a spring in his step!
Send a crew out here, it's crazy.
Hundreds of people,
and they're just warming up.
Well, your competitors are on their way.
Ora Nemo,
and what's interesting
is that she's very religious herself.
Don't cross the line.
No.
This is wrong.
She's fascinating, brave,
just hurry up
because she's going out to them.
What's going on?
-Are you alright? -Yes, what happened?
Don't ask,
there was a big screwup,
one of the kids handed out
the flyers I wrote. -Those ones?
Oh no.
-Human error, I guess.
I assume full responsibility.
What do we do?
If you ask me,
let's go with the flow
and not say it was a mistake,
otherwise they'll think we're zigzagging,
which is worse.
Flow with that sewage?
Absolutely not.
But it's out,
we can't turn back the wheel.
But you explained it to me,
let's explain it to them.
No, no, no,
it doesn't work that way.
Well, I'll consult with Tikva
and be right back.
Good morning, Rabbi.
-Good morning.
Rahamim, can I talk to you?
-Of course.
Did you see this?
-No, what is it?
I found it on the sidewalk,
they're all over the neighborhood.
Show me.
-Oh no.
It's a declaration of war.
It's messing with their most inner affairs.
They won't remain silent.
She didn't tell you?
Nissan, please.
She's lost her mind.
Say you're looking into it,
you don't know how it happened.
Someone did this behind your back,
you don't know who. Okay?
What do you care?
That way they'll think you have enemies.
Get a pen and paper
and write down what I say.
She's going to apologize.
-I know.
Don't worry, it'll be too late.
I'll be the opening act
and they won't let her go on.
We're off,
I have two more items today.
No, she's going out,
you have to film this.
Between us, Yarin,
nothing much is going on.
It's not worth an item.
Then wait until she goes out there.
You'll get your item.
You don't know where this can go.
But only if she goes out now.
Ora.
Ora.
You have to go out now.
I have to know
what I say to them first.
Don't say anything,
just stand there and be quiet.
I can't,
I have to say something, apologize.
Otherwise why do this item?
-Ora,
they're leaving,
there won't be an item
if you don't go out now.
We'll send an apology in writing later on.
Please do as I say,
I know what I'm doing.
Alright, I'm coming.
Rahamim. This is my husband.
This is Yarin.
He's finally visiting me.
Don't ask.
-We'll be right back
and tell you everything.
-I have to go out there--
No, you can't.
I have to talk to you first.
Wait, you have to...
-Just a second. -Ora.
What is it?
-Ora!
You have to...
Ora.
Ora!
Don't cross the line.
I'm going to apologize, Rahamim,
it's human error.
I don't understand
how it could happen.
Don't then.
Yarin, I'm ready.
-What?
Let's go.
-Go.
Alone?
-Yes, do what you want.
You're not coming?
-Too late, she left.
You go. Grovel, apologize.
I'm not going.
Fine, don't.
You want to come with me?
If you need me to, but...
I can't be politically involved, I...
You work for the city, right.
Forget it. -Come,
I'll go with you.
-Thanks, sweetie.
God willing we'll succeed.
Say amen. -Amen.
Hello.
Who did you call misogynist?
You heretic.
Excuse me.
Hello.
People, excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me. Hello.
I'm Ora Nemo,
I want to explain what happened.
First of all--
Shame on you! -Heretic!
-It was a mistake.
I'll explain.
I don't stand behind
what it said...
Tell them you're very sorry.
I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry.
Are you out of your mind?
Why are you involved in this?
It's just the beginning.
This mistake of yours will cost you.
What do you want me to do?
I told you, Ora,
you don't know about these things.
Say you're backing down
and get this mess over with.
Your life is in danger,
do you get that?
And you know
you won't be elected as it is.
No, I don't know.
But I finally know
what you really think of me.
Go to your city hall,
they'll fall apart without you.
Rahamim,
who bought all the properties?
Justice Holdings Ltd.,
not too many details,
but lately they purchased
more properties in the marketplace.
Justice Holdings?
No name of a person? -No.
Eti, I have the sum of the deficit.
Just tell me how much
is left to pay the contractor.
What?
You gave him the entire sum?
It was a mistake. -But...
We have to find
that Meir guy and sue him.
How will that help?
It'll be years till she gets her money.
This restaurant was supposed
to turn a profit in two weeks,
how will that happen now?
Eti,
you won't like this,
but give it some thought.
I'm not selling! Ever!
What choice do you have?
I'll think of something.
Think fast,
this deficit is increasing by the day.
Margalit,
you want to cook tomorrow?
I always want to cook.
But I mean a meal,
big quantities, not samples.
Can you?
Nissan will help me.
-He will?
I'll show him,
I'll show everyone.
If I lose here,
I'll run for the Knesset.
I have to show him.
Ora, you're overreacting,
he got stressed
by that crazy man. -It's not that.
He's worried about you. -No.
He tried to dissuade me
from the very start.
He doesn't want me to be someone.
Tikva, this is the biggest thing
I've ever done
and where is he? Huh?
He works for the city
and he can't help me?
He can't come here
and encourage me?
Be happy for me?
Ask me if I need anything?
Nothing.
He wants me to be the little wife,
that's what he wants.
No way,
Rahamim's not like that.
I didn't think so either.
He talks a good talk
but doesn't walk the walk.
-Am I interrupting?
No, I'll be right there.
Is it time to go on the campaign trail?
I think we'll cancel it for today.
-Really?
Thanks, I don't feel like it today.
-Ora, I have to tell you something,
but don't freak out,
we're handling it. -What now?
We translated what that guy said,
he's threatening to kill you.
-Oh yeah?
Yes, it's no laughing matter.
I think we have to go
to the police and the media.
Aren't you overreacting?
He's a bit off.
He didn't mean...
-I think he did
and I'm no psychiatrist,
I can't assume responsibility for this.
We have to file a complaint.
No, I'll tell my rabbi
to talk to his rabbis,
they'll handle it.
-Ora. -What?
Look at me
and tell me the truth,
do you want to win this election?
-Of course.
Then you have to trust me.
I know what I'm doing.
If we file a complaint
it will have an insane effect,
you'll soar sky high.
And you're not doing anything wrong,
he's the one
that threatened to kill you.
And you know why he did that?
Because you're a woman.
If you were a man he wouldn't dare.
And that's what you're fighting against,
isn't it?
File a complaint.
Hello, in Jerusalem
dozens of ultra-Orthodox men
attacked Ora Nemo
from the Or party
in protest of her campaign.
During the protest
she was subject to murder threats.
This is huge.
Neta, this is huge.
You see this?
-Yes, it's fierce.
What you said,
what you did, was so great. -Thanks.
This is the most important day
of your campaign.
It's only up from here.
-God willing.
I could have said
I was too weak to interfere,
but that wouldn't be the truth.
Tomorrow's a tough day,
you have four interviews.
I hoped Ora would realize
that she has no choice
and would finally take the reins.
Sleep well.
Thank you.
-Bye.
What a day.
Okay, now your shower and that's it.
No, I didn't get dirty today.
-No,
let's do this.
No need.
Go home, get some sleep.
Tikva, tomorrow I'm appearing
on a morning show,
I have to be here early, so...
can I sleep here tonight?
You're that mad at him?
I can't look at him.
Ora Nemo is an independent contender
for the Jerusalem city council.
Mrs. Nemo,
you're new to politics,
I assume that when you decided to run
you never thought you'd be
in such a violent situation.
Describe what went through your mind
at those moments.
I don't wish it on anyone. It's...
It's scary.
-It's scary, it's...
You filed a police complaint
for assault and death threats
and you're demanding
the immediate arrest of the perpetrator.
I hear that several female Knesset members
joined your request.
Can you tell us about that?
Sadly, not now,
the investigation is ongoing.
Sadly, not now,
the investigation is ongoing.
I'll gladly talk to you again
after the findings of the police.
I'll gladly talk to you again
after the findings of the police.
Ora Nemo, good luck.
Thank you for talking to us.
-Thank you.
Excellent, you were great.
-I was?
Really? -Yes.
-Tikva, what do you think?
She fell asleep.
I got you two more interviews,
but you were great. Good job.
Thank you. -Great.
-Tell me,
will he really be arrested?
I don't know.
Moti, show me the frame.
My soul thirsteth for God...
Can't you stop him?
I can't talk to him like this.
Sshhh...
He just wants to talk to you.
He won't do you any harm.
I'm sorry, Officer,
he's not a normal child.
I can see that.
But I must question him
in order to move on.
A death threat is a serious charge.
He's just talking nonsense.
He couldn't kill a fly,
I can vouch for him.
I believe you,
but he'll have to remain
in custody overnight.
The psychiatrist will examine him
and we'll act on what he decides.
No, please,
I can't leave him here,
he'll break down.
We'll keep him safe,
I promise you.
I'll watch out for him myself.
I'll tell Eti and Margalit
that you couldn't be there.
But I can.
-You can't.
The place will be full of dust and germs!
I'll put a mask on and I'll come.
-No.
Yes.
-Fine, come,
and I'm calling Dr. Azam to tell him.
You're not.
-I am.
Go see who that is.
Oh man, look at me.
Oh, it's you.
How are you, Ora?
How can I be?
What are you doing here?
I came to take you
to Eti and Margalit's meal.
You shouldn't have bothered,
I can walk.
I thought we'd talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
So we'll leave it like this?
-Yes, until after the elections,
then we'll see.
Fine, if that's what you want.
I can still take you,
we don't have to talk.
Wait, I'll get my bag.
No need, I'll manage.
Tikva, bye.
-Bye bye.
No, don't.
Ora, let me!
-I'm fine. -What is that?
Stickers, to give them.
Mrs. Ora Nemo?
-Yes?
Mrs. Ora.
-What is it?
My son is the one who threatened you.
I apologize.
My Baruchi doesn't always know
what he's doing,
but I explained to him,
he won't do it again.
Mrs. Ora,
he has a big body but...
he's still a child.
And prison
is not for him.
No, of course not.
I'll take care of this. -Yes?
-I promise.
We'll go there now.
-Thank you.
Tikva.
It's so good to see you.
Do we have an appointment?
-No,
I came of my own free will.
That's a huge compliment.
You look great, Tikva.
How can I help you?
I came to ask for a week off
from the takeoffs.
Tikva, remember,
we talked a lot
about the importance of continual treatment,
especially now,
when the counts aren't favorable,
it's even more important
for the success of the treatment.
Doctor, between us,
it won't really matter.
The cancer doesn't care
one week more, one week less.
And we won't tell it
we missed a treatment.
We won't tell Aaron either.
In your condition,
each treatment is crucial.
It increases the chances of recovery.
By how much
does it increase the chances?
0.2 percent.
Wow.
That's a lot, Tikva,
it's not like it sounds.
-Mmm...
Yes.
There's an invoice here
from Justice Holdings Ltd.
What is it?
-What?
Oh, it's nothing, by mistake.
Oh!
680 shekels at Lola Bakery.
No... -You indulged, huh?
-No, that wasn't for me, it was...
a gift. -Right...
I swear,
I haven't had sweets in years.
Yes you have.
I haven't. Look.
Doesn't look like it, but...
What now? Excuse me a second.
Surprise.
-What are you doing here?
I came to get you.
Are you done working?
Um... I...
Good evening, Naftali.
-Good evening.
Naftali, do you know Kobi?
He's a client.
I'm preparing his tax statement.
If you have to work, I'll go,
come when you're done.
-It's okay, I have to go.
We're done here, aren't we?
So have a good evening.
I'll get my things.
He's late with that statement.
All the tax laws,
they're very complicated,
it's not like the United States.
He's not familiar with them
so we have to go over every invoice.
Shall we?
And just like that,
without me, with no shame,
the whole community gathered
for the first meal...
Just a drop.
At Eti and Margalit's construction site.
Michael, when's your wife coming?
-Soon.
Then eat before it gets cold.
-I'm eating.
Well?
It's okay. What...?
You fry it, add onion. If you...
Good evening. -Good evening.
-You're open today?
Not exactly. I...
-No, yes, yes,
of course we're open.
-Rahamim's meeting me here.
Rahamim? -Rahamim?
-He's not here.
Do you know him?
-Of course.
Who doesn't know Rahamim?
But he'll be here any second.
Sit down. -Yes? -Please.
Margalit, let's serve them.
Don't come with me, Rahamim,
I'll manage on my own.
Tell Eti and Margalit
I'm sorry I can't be there.
No, I'm coming with you.
-I don't want you to,
I'll manage.
This is where we stand
and we're almost there.
That's why we can't give up now
and we won't give in to bullies.
This place must be
a home to us all.
Right. -Right?
So we can meet here every day,
eat together, laugh together,
not only on the Sabbath at synagogue.
To make this happen,
we need your help.
And I promise you all
a special dish from my menu.
Imagine waking up in the morning
knowing that at noon
you'll eat Margalit's food.
You jump out of bed.
Okay, what are you waiting for?
Checks please
and no excuses,
I know what each of you has in the bank.
Let me be first.
Good luck. -Thank you.
-Thank you, Rami.
I don't know where Rahamim is,
this isn't like him.
It's alright,
we managed without him.
Thank you.
Wait...
2,000 shekels.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, sweetheart.
Did you include the rental of the chairs?
I don't see it.
-Of course.
Here. -Good.
I knew they'd open their hearts.
I wonder, Ora and Rahamim didn't come.
It's odd.
I spoke to Rahamim earlier,
he said he looked into
Justice Holdings Ltd.
Who?
-Justice Holdings,
the company that bought the properties.
Why?
Uh... no reason.
Aaron, where are we at?
Patience.
Tell us approximately.
This is right?
-Yes.
Maybe we should check
one last time?
Aaron, again?!
Alright, just a second.
This is the full amount.
If we take 10% off
for unforeseen expenses
and another 3%
for unforeseen unforeseens,
that always happens,
we remain with
a surplus of 17 shekels.
Wow!
-That will be enough for the renovations.
This is wonderful.
-Congratulations.
I told you so.
Baruchi.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mrs. Ora.
You're welcome. Thank you.
Good luck with the elections.
God will help you,
you deserve it.
Why didn't you go to the meal?
-I waited for you.
Why?
To say "I told you so?"
Do you have any more proof
I can't be a politician?
That I don't know what I'm doing?
-No. -Fine,
you got what you want.
I'm withdrawing, you win.
-No,
you can't.
You have to go on, Ora.
When even my husband
doesn't believe in me?
But I do believe in you.
I didn't mean what I said.
I was thinking of myself, not you.
I'm sorry, I've been an ass.
You can't withdraw.
-Too late, Rahamim.
Once words come out of your mouth
there's no way of taking them back.
But you work for the city.
So they'll fire me...
Munir, how long will it take?
I don't know.
I'll get the workers,
then I'll tell you.
We can trust you, right?
You can't trust anyone.
You have to be here all the time.
That way the workers
will work faster too. I'll be back in an hour.
Thank you, Munir.
Look at that Hanuka sniffing around.
I have to know who's behind him.
We have to keep him away
until we decide to open.
When we feel
that we can't trust anyone,
that's when we're strongest
and we know exactly
what we have to do.
Good morning, Hanuka.
-What are you doing?
Leave him to me.
-What happened?
No workers today?
-Don't ask, the contractor bailed.
Really?
-Yes, take a look.
He dropped everything
and we paid him up front.
Ay ay ay, I'm such a jackass.
Eti, it's all my fault.
-You?
When I saw that guy
I had a bad feeling about him,
I should've warned you,
but I didn't want to butt in
so you don't think I have it in for you
because of the sale.
That's okay, Hanuka.
Actually Margalit and I
wanted to talk to you,
maybe we can meet with the buyer
and move forward?
Yeah?
-What choice do we have?
Maybe you can set up a meeting with...
Justice Holdings, right?
-Yes, Jus...
I mean, I don't remember,
was it Justice Holdings?
Where did you hear that?
-You told me. -Me?
Oh, right, I did, I told you.
So will you set up a meeting?
-Yes, sure.
Thank you.
-So long.
Thank you, Hanuka.
-Bye.
You see that?
"I told you?"
Ora also got up in the morning
feeling there's no one she can trust,
and then it happened,
she followed her heart.
Good morning, dear voters.
I want to share something with you.
I made a big mistake,
I sent an innocent fellow to jail
and I almost ruined his life.
Just to get elected.
I forgot that I want to be on the council
to unite, not to divide.
I won't hurt anyone
just to get elected.
I don't know
if I deserve your vote...
She's actually telling people
not to vote for her.
I got confused.
I made a mistake.
I see. Remove it from social media.
I want this gone.
And Yaffa?
She decided to trust herself.
Suddenly, in the middle of the road.
What do you think you're doing?
Good morning to you too.
Good morning.
-Ora.
How are you?
-Very well.
Can I talk to you?
-Of course.
Look, Ora,
I'm your campaign manager, okay?
Getting that guy released
without consulting me
is like spitting in my face,
not to mention the huge damage
to the campaign
that I don't know if I can repair.
No, don't repair it.
Yarin,
I've been thinking about this,
I appreciate everything you've done,
you're really great.
-Huh? -But I realized
that you're not for me.
Our ways don't meet.
I'm not in your league. It's just...
I don't want it that badly.
I realized that from here on in
I do this on my own.
Wait, are you firing me?
No, God forbid,
I'm just saying
that I decided to go it alone.
So you're firing me.
-Why put it like that?
I'm just shortening your work.
Two weeks, big deal.
Thank you.
I thank you all.
Take this,
you take this.
Get up!
I'm listening.
What do you want to hear?
-The truth.
What are you doing, Kobi?
Why did you come back?
I realized we never...
talked when it ended between us.
Because you fled.
You didn't have the guts.
It was too painful.
But in my mind you were always mine,
we were together,
I just left for a while
and I'd be back.
Kobi, I'm married,
there's no point now.
I just want to know
why your interest in the shops.
Why are you being so evil?
-Evil?
I'm saving them.
Don't you get
that this neighborhood is dead?
It's gone.
Look around,
the world has moved on.
I'm doing them a favor,
removing them from their small,
primitive world
without having to go anywhere.
You know what I'm going to build there?
It'll be the most beautiful neighborhood
in Jerusalem, in this country.
And they'll get it just like that
because they're lucky enough
to live in my neighborhood.
You want them to live
in a neighborhood that's yours,
that's what you really want.
No.
I want you.
That's what I really want.
I'd give up this project now
if I had you.
Kobi, I'm married.
I heard.
Say it another seven times
it won't close the abyss
between you and your husband.
And it won't make
how you feel for me go away.
I'm not alone here, Yaffa.
If you wanted to,
you'd tell me to go away.
So stop using your marriage as an excuse,
it won't last, you know that.
Naftali is a sweet man,
sensitive, considerate,
everyone loves him.
But he's not for you.
He's not in your league, Yaffa.
He's like them,
a coward.
That's not true,
you don't know him.
I know you.
